'Engaging... this excellent book lays out the damage of letting arbitrary political power intervene in business' Financial Times 'A must-read account from a heroic reporter who has taken on the world's most dangerous tech company' – Chris Miller, award-winning author of Chip War: The Fight for the World's Most Critical Technology Every Screen on the Planet is the dramatic, untold story of TikTok. Charting its rise from obscurity into the world’s most valuable startup, Emily Baker-White relates how its visionary founder, ByteDance CEO Zhang Yiming, reshaped the global internet from a place where you searched for information to one where information comes to you. Billions of users were soon hooked. But there was a cost to such success. Soon, TikTok was embroiled in accusations of surveillance, censorship and user manipulation, attracting controversy from India and Europe to the US. After Baker-White – a Harvard-trained lawyer and investigative reporter – revealed that Chinese engineers could access Americans’ private information, a team of ByteDance employees even used the app to track her. Based on unprecedented access to internal documents, leaked recordings and accounts from whistle-blowers inside the company, Every Screen on the Planet reveals how TikTok became trapped between China and the USA, desperate to survive. It is the story of how your attention became the world’s most valuable – and dangerous – commodity. 'Revealing. A story about power, control and the hidden battles shaping what we see online' – Parmy Olson, bestselling author of Supremacy: AI, ChatGPT and the Race That Will Change the World
